LouAnn Ostler Lyman

LouAnn Ostler Lyman, devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully with a sweet smile on April 21, 2025, at the age of 89, due to the effects of Alzheimer’s disease. She was born in Ogden, Utah on May 8, 1935, to loving parents Boyden Ostler and Katherine Heiner, and was raised in Bountiful, Utah. She was the oldest of three daughters. LouAnn’s strong bond with her sisters remained constant throughout her life with many happy moments and memories together.

LouAnn attended Davis High School where she met Stanley Lyman. These high school sweethearts were engaged on graduation night in 1953 and were married in the Salt Lake Temple on May 21, 1954. Early in their marriage Stan was stationed in Anchorage, Alaska. It was there they welcomed their first child, Cindy. Cindy was born with Spina Bifida and LouAnn was her main caregiver for all of Cindy’s life. LouAnn’s loving example of a devoted mother will be remembered by all who knew her. After finishing the assignment in Alaska they moved back to Utah and eventually settled in Kaysville. They welcomed three more children—Suzanne, Kathy, and Kent.

LouAnn was known for her quiet service, often helping others without seeking recognition. She was a talented pianist who served many years as a ward pianist and organist. She accompanied many musicals at Davis High School and was honored for her years of volunteer service to the Musical Production department. She enjoyed helping others share their talents. LouAnn was also a talented seamstress. Many quilts and cross stitch creations filled her home. Her beautiful quilts were admired by many, each stitch a reflection of her meticulous care and creativity. Whether she was playing the piano, sewing a quilt, or simply offering a listening ear, LouAnn made the world a more beautiful place through her gentle spirit and unwavering love.

LouAnn and Stan enjoyed spending time in the Uinta Mountains with their family. She loved to care for the property and be outdoors. Many fond memories were made together as a family. LouAnn loved the Utah Jazz and truthfully any good “ball game” on TV. She was an avid supporter of her grandchildren and loved hearing about all they were doing.

LouAnn was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served faithfully in many callings. LouAnn was a thoughtful minister and visiting teacher. Some of her most treasured years were during the time she and Stan served together as temple workers in the Bountiful Temple for nearly a decade. LouAnn led a life of humility, faith, and Christlike kindness and service.

LouAnn is preceded in death by her parents, her dear husband Stan and daughter Cindy. We rejoice in their happy reunions.

LouAnn is survived by her children: Suzanne (Dan Murray); Kathy (Kyle Sprague); and Kent (Chantell) Lyman; as well as nine beloved grandchildren: Staci (Bill) Barlow; Michael (Erika) Kennard; Katelyn (Joe) Fitzgerald; Kourtney (Mike) Adams; Kyler (Ellery) Sprague; Karly (Ryan) Tanner; Brittni (Carson) Vance; Jessika Lyman; Madie Lyman and 23 great grandchildren.

She is also survived by her two sisters: Kay Bowles; and Jo (Eric) Winston. LouAnn is lovingly remembered by her in-laws: Norma Lyman Ellis; Vicki Lyman (Perry Bolyard); Richard Lyman (Coleen); Craig Lyman (Noreen); JoAnn Groves Lyman; and Cheryl Dee Lyman.

Although we will miss our beloved mother, grandmother and sister dearly, we look forward to being in her presence after this short separation. “WE LOVE YOU LOTS”

The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to the staff of the Fairfield Village and all those that helped care for both LouAnn and Stan. They enjoyed their time there and made many new friends. We are forever grateful.
